Lesson Overview

14.22 – Figuring Out FAFSA, Scholarships, and Loans: Understanding FAFSA, scholarships, and loans can feel like decoding a secret language, but once you break it down, it’s about options and timing. FAFSA determines how much financial aid you can receive—apply as soon as it opens each year. Scholarships reward unique skills, stories, or achievements, and thousands go unused because students don’t apply. Loans should be your last resort and only for what’s needed. Write down all due dates and track communication from schools carefully. Free workshops or counselors can help fill out forms step by step. The key is asking questions early before deadlines pass. Organization transforms confusion into control. Your financial plan for education doesn’t define your intelligence—it defines your preparation. Every form you complete builds confidence in managing your own future. Smart planning today prevents panic tomorrow and empowers lifelong financial literacy.
